ABOUT L4D2 on L4D

Porting the L4D2 campaigns to Left 4 Dead

The goals of this project are to serve as a proof of concept, proving that Valve could have easily made the new maps in the original game, and to strenghten the L4D playerbase with new content, while taking this content from the sequel, ironically to Valve's similar actions against Left 4 Dead.

We have no release date, but we are aiming to release around the same time Valve ports the L4D campaigns to L4D2.

This is the status of the project:

Work done :
- Ported all models and textures.
- Created a L4D2 map-support package
- Jukebox fully working
- Ported near all maps in Left 4 Dead (1)
- All maps are compileable
- Gauntlet events now fully work(Thanks to Impossible)
- Fixed area portal bugs
- Working "item carrying" system, which can be used for the gas cans in Hard Rain, the Gnome in Dark Carnival, the Cola in Dead Center etc.
- Changed the campaign posters so they represent the L4D survivors
- Fixed Dynamic Car Alarms in all maps

To-do list:
- Unlock all roofs for versus
- Add survival mode to all maps (some are already done)
- Hide some easter eggs
- Make fully working nav meshes
- Fix fall damage in some areas
- Add custom particles
- Fully implement all custom items(cola, gnome etc.)
- Make the game remember the weapon statuses on the way back in Hard Rain

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

A quick SitRep because it's needed.

Well, we obviously aren't dead, but instead, we were working. Slowly, unfortunally, but we were. Our biggest problem in the recent time next to having not enough time on our hands was getting a properly working finale for The Parish.
And overall, we were able to work something out. We got a finale, that is a gauntlet through the end. And not just that, we were also able to change the difficulty from "walk in the park" to "somewhat painful". Of course, we are working on that, still, but it is already a step up compared to L4D2. For once, the horde is bigger to some degree, the second Tank is there sooner and a few other things.
But we also gave the players a few treats to counter some of it. For example, some might remember seeing a video of the beta with a Heavy Machine Gun half-way through. Well, we re-added it and now you got one more HMG to play with.

Why do we just talk about it when we can show most of the stuff? We made a video for you guys:

It also shows some of the bugs we still have to deal with, so keep that in mind - it is not the final product. We were able to pin down a reason for some of the bugs and will try to fix those in the upcoming days.
Not much else to say other than I hope you're glad that we're still working on this and that you enjoy the video.

It's been a long time... How have you been?

We've been really busy being d- I mean, working. Exactly. Working! Naturally.

Anyway, we were working most of the time on various things.
Some being Real Life related, some to L4D2onL4D.
Remember how we promised to show you the cola event a few months back?
Well God forbid anything go smoothly with that. We had to revamp and optimize the system countless times, and fix bugs upon bugs in a neverending sea.
After that, we had problems with getting FRAPS to record, after that we had problems rendering the video properly, and after that we had problems uploading the video.
But now, unbelievable as it may sound, it's finally there.
And to make it a little bit more interesting, we acutally show the entire 2nd map, not just the event, including all changes, balances, and a little extra something:

Overall, we show how the Cola now works, as it had to be changed somewhat due some limitations, such as not being able to add new weapons, as which the Cola (just like gascans, propane tanks and oxygen tanks) qualifies.
But on the other hand, we upped the difficulty somewhat.
There are some things subject change, and you are more than welcome to provide us with input on how to balance things.

We're really proud of how the cola event worked out, it has been developed into the complex system of continuously interacting entities that it is today through a tedious and frustrating path of evolution.
We think it's going to be hard to beat this achievement, but we'll have to, because whatever system we'll have to conjure up to make the game remember the weapon spawns in Hard Rain is surely going to be even more impressive.
